KYIV. Nov 22 (Interfax-Ukraine) – The quarterly fee for fish catch in Ukrainian water basins for industrial companies should be increased by at least 2.5 times, the State Fish Agency of Ukraine has said.
According to its proposals, the fee for catch of one tonne of Black Sea anchovy could grow from UAH 46.62 to UAH 118.24, bream – from UAH 223.98 to UAH 564.43 and pike perch – from UAH 323.02 to UAH 814.01.
According to the new tariffs, catch of one tonnes of mullet could be UAH 995.17, Black Sea goby to UAH 231.71, kilka – UAH 50.90 and trout – UAH 594.17.
“The fee for fish catch was revised in 2011. The existing tariffs are small and do not suit the current economic situation. According to inflation figures, we propose to increase the fees by at least 2.5 times,” Chairman of the Fish Agency Yarema Kovaliv said.
He does not rule out that the fee could be increased even more.
